EXPOSED: Vicky says she hated having sex in the Geordie Shore house [JEANY SAVAGE]

But we're guessing having your parents see you put their sex advice into action may top that on the embarrassment scale.

Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison has got down and dirty repeatedly on telly, but admitted that she incurred the wrath of her mother when she first indulged in X-rated behaviour.

The Newcastle lass claims that her mum stopped talking to her for weeks when she first appeared on Geordie Shore having sex with then-boyfriend Ricci Guarnaccio.

In her new book Nothing But The Truth, Vicky even blames her raunchy screen fornication on new CBB housemate Ricci – and booze, of course.

“I can be violent but those things Mam can overlook. But having sex on TV is very different”

She wrote: "I hated having sex on camera so much. The bitching is nasty but I’m actually a bit of a prude when it comes to that side of things. I despised that my parents could potentially see it.

"Of course, I was drunk when it happened. It was something Ricci pushed for and because I was p****d I caved in."

Er, that doesn't exactly explain the repeated undercover fumbles throughout Geordie Shore, as well as sleeping with Ross on Ex On The Beach…

Despite spitting on a housemate, constant screaming matches with Ricci and drunken displays, Vicky's sexual escapades were what embarrassed her family most.

She continued: "The worst thing about having sex on TV was that my mam stopped speaking to me for ages when she found out. Yes, sometimes my language is appalling. I can be violent but those things Mam can overlook. But having sex on TV is very different.

"I think that scene really changed the public’s opinion of me and it also changed my opinion of the show because it took everything from me."

If this was a one-time passionate fling with Guarnaccio, we would have sympathy for Vicky's plight - but unfortunately, Vicky didn't seem to tone down her behaviour throughout the show.

Besides, sex on TV is becoming rather commonplace, with Steven and Kimberly indulging in brief dalliances on Big Brother, as well as new CBB bombshell Frenchy admitting she's up for a shower session with anyone with a six-pack.

We'll have to wait to see whether Ricci will join the TV rompers society once more.
